Just as an update to what is happening, I took a 2 day "vacation" to play some WiTP of my own, but now I am back workin full speed. I'm going to finish up the OOB work, and with luck be able to begin some alpha testing later this month. Hopefully even as early as two weeks.

Here is the plan of what is left to do:

Finish Warship OOB work
Finish Warship Graphics
Alpha Testing
Add in support ship and LCU OOB
Scenario Design
Beta Testing
Create Windows Installer
Release

I'm pretty far along in the OOB work and Graphics, shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 weeks to finish. For the Alpha testing, I am going to design small scenarios pitting 2 to 4 ships of the same type together in a naval batle, to see how they fair. This should tell me if I think a ship is too lightly armored, or if the guns work as expected. Or in the case of BCs, make sure that magazine explosions are (unfortunately) a very distinct possibility, yet don't happen all the time.

After that, I'll add in the support vessels (AS, AD, AR, AV(maybe), and LCUs. Then I will begin La Grande campaigne, one set in 1922 (predreads), the other in 1927(super dreadnoughts). Also, I want to include a number of smaller scenarios (Fight for the PI, fight for the Marianas, cruiser actions in the South Pacific), and maybe even a few "quick battle" scenarios, which will basically be small, "instant action" naval battles for a few hours enjoyment or a quickie PBEM.

Then, before release, I'll bundle it into a fancy Windows style Installer (hopefully). I know how to do it in VB, its just been a LOOOOONNNGGG time.

So guys, that's how it stands. With luck, in 4 weeks we can all be playing this. Who knows, maybe Matrix will label them "official"? That'd be sweet.

Tankerace -> Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 5:28:27 PM)

Well, since this was from about 3 months ago (Man.... that was a while. And WPO has come a LONG way) I'll send out one last call. IF you want to command a ship/airplane unit, post your in-game name (For me, Prince, J. G.) and some Leadership and Inspiration values. If you don't want a particular ship, but a type, post that. Also, post your nation (US, UK, JPN, AUS, NZ, CA [only 3 ships, 1 CL and 2 DDs].



Stavka_lite -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 5:53:29 PM)

String -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 5:59:03 PM)

well.. i'm estonian.. but i could be an immigrant in the US [;)]

so if you could have a DD captain named Tatsi, T.A. with good leadership but ****ty inspirational values and cautious then i'd be most happy :)



Bill Durrant -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 6:03:33 PM)

Could I have a British DD - no ship preference

Durrant, W.P.
Leadership 50
Inspiration 60

FDRLincoln -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 6:25:50 PM)

Captain: USS Des Moines. Leadership: 60, Inspiration: 49, a cautious commander.



Blackhorse -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 6:29:40 PM)

Szabat, J.M.

I'm a ground-pounder, so if you're offering LCUs I'll take a US or Filipino Cavalry unit. Ldr: 65 Insp: 80 (we Cavalry leaders have very high self-esteem!) . . . and *extremely* aggressive.

If I have to be an aviator, give me command of a patrol squadron: Ldr: 45 Insp: 70



Andy Mac -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 6:53:14 PM)

Could I have a British Cruiser say HMS Hawkins

McPhie, A.C.

Thanks for making such a super cool mod, Tankerace! :)



Freddy Fudpucker -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 7:11:10 PM)

Fantastic idea Tankerace,

I would love to be included prefer a British DD if possible.

Dutton, P.A. L 55, I 68

Thanks very much [:)]



pauk -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 7:13:24 PM)

since nobody wants to be a japanese captain, i will take a command of Hosho... but any ship would be nice if possible.


Kresimir Alajbeg (oh, Alaybeg, if sounds more japanese....so let it be Alajbeg,K.) leadership 49 inspiration 63, agressive

If you want strictly japanese names, you could use some of ski jumpers.. like Kazuyoshi Funaki, Masahiko Harada, etc....

[8D]



FDRLincoln -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 8:18:17 PM)

Another Japanese friend I would like to honor with a ship captaincy.

captain, battleship Tosa. Leadership 70, inspiration 52, cautious commander.



mucky -> RE: Last Call for leaders! (12/5/2004 9:47:23 PM)

Angus Williams. (Williams, A.M.)

He was my grandad and fought with chindits during ww2 in burma, could you put him in charge of a British LCU if possible. And also could you throw my name in the Bag also if possible!

Williams, A.A.T

Thanks!
